Connection-wise, it's a very simple box. There's a coax in, a coax out(pass-thru) that has a terminator on it and an ethernet jack. The box is provided with a short coax jumper (if you were connecting it in-line with an H/HR) and a short ethernet cable.

Typically, the ethernet port would be connected to an H/HR port to act as a DECA adapter.

Internally it has a wireless G or N bridge, that can be programmed from a HR or from a PC.

In your case, just hook up the ethernet to the 23 and go to Setup / Network Setup and in a few minutes of powering up the WCCK, you'll see a wireless setup to find the SSID and put in the security key.

If I'm understanding, I don't need to use the coax at all - just treat the box like I would an ordinary wireless adapter. (Presumably there's also a power cord involved?)

To make sure it's very clear the USB wireless adapter you see on newegg won't work. Those would require the DVR to have usb drivers for them which they don't have.

A wireless bridge or gaming adapter which is designed to connect up to the internet via wireless and your Xbox or directv dvr via ethernet would work and is essentially what the WCCK is. A lot of these are really over priced since they really aren't anything more than your typical wireless router with slightly different software running on them.

Personally, I used a cheap wireless router and flashed it with DD-wrt which allowed me to configure it as a wireless bridge but it sounds like this might be a little out of your comfort zone.
